DVD Review: Two New Releases from Hi-5
by Sally Murphy

Keep the children entertained with these high-energy releases from Hi-5



Kids love music and dancing and two new DVD releases from Hi-5 and Roadshow Entertainment give them plenty of both.

In Hi-5 Star Dreaming the members of Hi-5 - Tim, Kathleen, Nathan, Kellie and Charli - take children on a journey to an out-of-this-world place where dreams do come true and where they can wish upon a star. Have fun with Kathleen building her very own rocket, join Nathan for a magic walk on the moon, reach for the stars with Kelli and Chats and take a magic flying carpet ride with Cloud Girl Charli, before blasting off with Tim for an intergalactic spin through the galaxy in his shiny silver spaceship.

The second DVD, Hi-5 Music Machine invites you to crank up your engines and hit the GO button for an all-new video adventure that’s cool and crazy. Kathleen is charged and ready to go as she takes Jup Jup on the flight of his life. Jump aboard with Tim on a roller-coaster ride of songs and dances from around the world. March and groove with Kellie and Chats and take a spin with Charli on the magic merry-go-round of imagination.

Both titles offer special DVD features, which will keep kids amused for hours, including karaoke tracks complete with on-screen lyrics, and ‘Sharing Stories’ segments with the stories Magic Carpet and Tired Turtle.

Other features include audio commentaries, hotlinks for the Village and Hi 5 web sites, a child-friendly auto-play feature and previews of video and CD releases.

Hi-5 Star Dreaming and Hi-5 Music Machine are rated G, with a suggested retail price of (AU)$29.95 each.
